Multiplettered:
Adjective. For a word
or sentence to have multiple occurrences of the same letter. If a letter
appears multiple times in order, the word/sentence is sequentially multiplettered.
If a word/sentence is totally multiplettered then it is made up entirely of 2
or more of the same letter. If a half of a word/sentence is made up of the same
letter, the word/sentence is semi multiplettered; an example in a sentence is, “’Mirror’
is a semi multiplettered word/sentence due to its Rs”. This word was first used
in 1977 and quickly started competitions for young people to try to make the
longest words/sentences that didn’t have multiple occurrences of the same
letter, because of injuries sustained during these competitions they were
quickly shut down or closely monitored for the next 2 years, at which point
most people forgot about them. Non-multiplettering contests have not yet gained
the popularity that they once had and few believe that they will, not because
of what happened before, but because the competitions weren’t a very much fun
at all.
